House, at the discretion of the managers
g. That passes can be issued to members
of the Senate and House residing on the
different roads, good only during the session
between their residences and the capital,
but that the practice of indorsing the same

f. That no passes on account OF the
press be given, either trip or annual, but
those now out may be hOnOred until they eX-

Sec. 4O5l. Is also interesting. ''If sheep

il accustomed to worry, wound and kill
sheep or not, shall pay to the owner OF such
sheep double the damages sustained To bf

Sec. 4O52. "a person may kill dog that
suddenly assaults him while no Is peaceably
walking or riding without thu. enclosure OF
its owner or keeper, or dog found worry
ing wOunding or killing sheep, and no ac'
ton shall be sustained against such person
for killing such dog"
1t has been customary to license dogs IN
And 1t has also been customary to take no
action to collect SIS nor to kill dogs. IL re-
mains to be seen what course the selectmen
will take this year. There Is neither honor
